About Your Dentist

Dr. Wilkerson graduated from Emory University (B.S.) and the University of Florida, College of Dentistry (D.M.D.), where he completed a research mentorship under Dr. Parker Mahan, world-renowned authority on facial pain/TMJ disorders. He then joined the Dawson, Roach & DuPont dental practice in 1982.

Dr. Wilkerson's work emphasizes restorative and esthetic (cosmetic) procedures. He is adept at doing "extreme makeovers" as well as simpler smile enhancement procedures. A perfectionist, he is meticulously dedicated to both the art and science of giving people a beautiful smile.

Having treated several thousand patients for various dental related problems, Dr. Wilkerson's expertise has led him to be an extremely popular educator and leader in dentistry. He has trained over 4,000 dentists through hands-on workshops with the Dawson Academy for Advanced Dental Studies, where he serves as a senior lecturer. He served in 2010-2011 as President of the American Equilibration Society, the leading organization in the world for the study of dental occlusion (bite) and Temporomandibular Disorders. He currently is president of the American Academy for Oral and Systemic Health (AAOSH). He works closely with local physicians treating headaches, snoring and sleep apnea through oral appliances.

Dr. Wilkerson and his terrific wife, Patricia, married in 1980 and have three wonderful children: Todd, Whitney and Ryan and an extraordinarily beautiful granddaughter, Carolina! The Wilkerson's enjoy all sports together and love to travel. They have taken several dental missions trips as a family to wonderful places such as Kenya and Romania.

Dr. Brandimore attended the University of Florida for both his Bachelors and Doctor of Dental Medicine degrees. Upon completion of his dental degree, he was fortunate to attend the prestigious UF Advanced Education in General Dentistry residency program under the direction of Dr. Thomas Porter.

While in residency, he received comprehensive training in the areas of complex restorative treatment, occlusal (bite) disease, tissue grafting, endodontics, dental implants, and sedation dentistry.

Dr. Brandimore has been privileged to receive countless hours of education from some of the most prominent leaders in dental education including The Dawson Academy and Implant Educators. He believes that commitment to continual training is key to practicing predictable and complete dentistry. He is an active member of many educational organizations including the American Dental Association, Florida Dental Association, Pinellas County Dental Association, and West Coast District Dental Association.

Dr. Brandimore is passionate in researching the relationship between oral and systemic health. He believes that changes in lifestyle habits play an integral role in the reduction of systemic inflammation that otherwise contribute to cardiovascular, endocrine, pulmonary, and cognitive degeneration.

Dr. Brandimore married his high school sweetheart, Alex, and they have two beautiful daughters: Kennedy and Emery. The Brandimores enjoy Gator athletics, the outdoors, and spend most of their free time at the park with their girls.

After attending the University of South Florida on a full basketball scholarship, Dr. DuPont entered Emory University’s College of Dentistry. He graduated in 1979 and that same year joined the prestigious practice of Drs. Peter E. Dawson and Pete Roach in St. Petersburg, Florida.

Since then, Dr. DuPont has spent his career solving serious and extensive esthetic and functional dental problems for a growing number of grateful patients.

Dr. DuPont started out in 1979 assisting in the practice lab. His natural talent for sculpting was quickly recognized by Dr. Peter Dawson – a world-renowned educator and innovator in restorative dentistry. Dr. Dawson invited Dr. DuPont to work side-by-side with him and to see both his approach to patients and his overall philosophy of finding conservative solutions to help patients save their teeth for a lifetime.

The time-tested principles that he learned early on in his career and that he has applied, and improved upon through product and technology advances, have served him well in his approach to solving severe esthetic and functional problems due to tooth wear, damaged and lost teeth, and occlusion and bite problems. From those early days through to today, Dr. DuPont’s passion for developing comprehensive treatment plans for challenging cases, his delivery of compassionate patient care and his dedication to both esthetic and functional excellence have resulted in hundreds and hundreds of success stories.

Following in the footsteps of his mentor, Dr. Peter Dawson, Dr. DuPont is a founding member of the Center for Advanced Dental Studies – now called the Dawson Academy. Invited to lecture nationally, and internationally, on techniques and creative approaches to solving difficult dental problems for patients around the world, Dr. DuPont finds great satisfaction in sharing his extensive experience and knowledge with fellow dental professionals.

His numerous professional and academic affiliations include serving as an Affiliated Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Florida’s College of Dentistry. Dr. DuPont has served as past president of the Pinellas County Dental Association and has taught at the L.D. Pankey Institute for many years. Honored by his peers as a Fellow in the American College of Dentists, Dr. DuPont was also selected as “One of America’s Top Dentists.”

He and his wife Janet enjoy spending time with their four daughters, Erin, Kristen, Catherine, and Lauren as well as their seven grandchildren.

Dr. DuPont’s interests include fishing, golf, and volunteering in his church, St. Raphael’s Catholic Church. He and his wife also enjoy working with engaged and married couples at St. Raphael’s Church.
